A Golden Hour Engagement Session in Petaluma { Engagement Photographer, Sonoma County, CA }

Diana Jex


I don't do a lot of engagement sessions, but every now and then, one comes along that truly reminds me why these sessions can be so special. Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful couple in the golden hills of Petaluma, and it was everything I could have hoped for and more.


We timed the session perfectly, catching those magical sunset hours when the light turns soft and golden, wrapping everything in a warm glow. The bride-to-be had an eye for detail, bringing along two outfits that added such depth and personality to the shoot.


The first was a casual look that showed their playful and fun connection—it was so heartwarming to capture their laughter and easy chemistry. For the second part of the session, they switched to something more dressed up and elegant, which perfectly complemented the rolling countryside backdrop. It was dreamy, romantic, and timeless.


Their connection was undeniable—it made photographing them feel effortless. Watching them interact, you could see how deeply they care for each other, and how much joy they bring into each other’s lives. It was inspiring and a reminder of why capturing love stories, no matter the occasion, is such a privilege.


I truly hope to do more of these in the future. There’s something so special about being invited to witness and document a couple’s love during such an exciting season in their lives. If you’re thinking about having an engagement session, I’d love to hear from you and help create something meaningful and uniquely yours!
